The Manchester United coach sat down in front of the journalists and then began a several-minute monologue.

Michael Carrick has taken responsibility for Manchester United's poor performance, acknowledging the pressure on him as the team remains winless in seven matches across all competitions. Currently, they sit 13th in the Premier League and 20th in the Champions League after a recent 4-1 defeat to Como. In a press conference before the Bournemouth match, Carrick expressed understanding of the fans' frustration and emphasized his capability to handle the situation. He noted the need for the team to rediscover its identity, reflecting on the challenges faced after a previously successful season. Speculation about his potential replacement has begun, with names like Antonio Conte mentioned, although he has denied any advanced negotiations with clubs.
